King In Jeshurun

Coming soon from Ten Words Press

Before there was a law, there was a job. God set a man down in a garden "to serve it and to guard it," the same words Moses would later use for the priests in the tabernacle. Eden was a sanctuary, Adam was its priest, and when he walked out past the flaming sword the office did not die with him.

King in Jeshurun follows that office from the garden forward, one holder at a time, using nothing but the text of Scripture. It traces the appointed line from Seth to Noah, the eighth herald of righteousness, explains why the count passes over the man who never died, finds the priesthood crossing the flood, meets it at Salem with bread and wine, and watches it pass by faith to Abraham and by the scepter to David. Then it comes to Moses, the man who took off his shoes on holy ground, sprinkled the blood of the covenant, consecrated Aaron without ever belonging to Aaron's order, and was buried by God on a mountain no one can find. Scripture calls him king in Jeshurun. This book explains why.

Written in plain language for ordinary readers, with every passage rendered fresh from the Hebrew and Greek and one plate opening each chapter. The conclusions are stated plainly in the chapters; every honest objection is answered in the back.
